Etymology named for the presence of claw setae in the first setiger. [details]

Status Names in Uchida (2004) appear to be unavailable. There is no deposition information, contrary to ICZN Article 16. No holotype specimen-lot identifiers are given, and no indication of where specimens might be held. Uncopodarke if an available name, would be a synonym of Microphthalmus. Westheide (2013) placed the single species there. [details]
